Alright, let's look at your comment again;

What or who specifically were you reacting to, in this thread, that prompted that post if it was not the people who didn't immediately accept the story as true?

To believe such is beyond absurdity.

Not really, because aliyah, and the policy on aliyah, has been an ongoing process open to numerous policy changes over the years, and faces strong opposition in various circles, even political ones ...Not to mention, a willingness to accept them in aliyah does not translate into a willingness to accept a large population explosion from that demographic

Yep, that's it....

Noooo, I doubt that. Maybe you just got caught up in the hype of an outrageous TV show story and shoulda waited at least until CNN or BBC picked it up? It could happen to anyone. Well, not me, but you get the point.

I think that would be your personal biases speaking.
Here is why ...
You have yet to show that Israel actually did anything wrong.
All you have are allegations of which you apparently wish to glom onto.
Something is wrong with that. To me that sounds awfully like the Israel can do nothing right camp.

Like I said.

That may mean that there was some misunderstanding before. Not that something was purposely done wrongly, or forced, or anything of the sort.
Which means that it wasn't a tacit admission of wrong doing at all.

(cough) Absolute crap (cough)

Let's assume for a second that this story came out and it was the United States government. In other words, change the word "Israel" to "Obama." What would you be saying?

I guess you hate America then.

Yes your comment was absolute crap. Just as your current edited version is as well.

Well you're just so much more superior than the rest of us.

I don't even know that it's true, I'm just sick of the reflexive defense of Israel. If they nuked New York, it wouldn't even phase these guys.
